Unexpected results of weight loss

TasnimEz

I lost 10 kg so far, today I discovered that my wedding rings fit me again. One of them is even feeling a bit big. Wasn't really counting on that.

I can also finally cross my legs when I sit..

When I first lost a lot of weight I was laying in bed one night and I felt this hard bump on my side that had never been there before. I was freaking out thinking it was a tumor or something. My ex husband felt it and laughed at me. He said it was my pelvis/hip. Sure enough, I had a matching one on the other side. :P

The other day I was visiting a friend and sat down to talk. All of a sudden it hit me that my legs were crossed. In my head I kept thinking "Look at me sitting with my legs crossed!" Even though I know it's bad for your circulation, I kept sitting that way because I was so happy that I could.

WOW! Over 200 responses - thank you guys :-)

Another one from me:

I've always loved clothes, but after buying two new sports bras at the weekend I've also just realised that losing weight has made me develop a new-found obsession with gym wear. I now have more workout leggings than actual trousers!

Unfortunately I've already got too small for the gym clothes I bought six months ago... I discovered this doing lunges in BodyCombat when my shorts started to fall down - sorry people standing behind me, I think you might have briefly seen my knickers!

To add to the clothing mishaps; I was shovelling snow and realized that my pants were falling down! And the other day I walked out of my pajama pants (luckily that happened inside). This is such an inspiring thread, I've lost 10, and have about 80 to go, and looking forward to experiencing these changes really keep me on track.

My bottom hurts when I sit on a hard seat. I can live with it though!

Me too! For a while, I thought something was wrong with me, but then I realized that it's my tailbone! Imagine that!

Me too!! It's the first area I go to when I go into a clothing store! It's like work clothes or even casual clothes are secondary.

I love this thread!

That spot under my cheekbones that I've been contouring for years...well, now it's visibly already "indented" from having a slightly slimmer face. My cheekbones are back! But yes, I still hit it up with some bronzer anyway

It is so inspiring to hear about so much success! Keep this thread going, I could read this stuff forever!!

My sister, who loves shopping, is happy. I knew weight loss would make me feel great, but I did not know it would make the people around me happier.

She says now whenever she sees something that she thinks would look nice on me, she no longer thinks "they don't come in large enough sizes". She is able to just randomly buy it for me as a gift. I don't know why, but it seems to make her happy.

After the first couple of times, she started buying me stuff a size smaller, because she knows things get too roomy pretty fast.

I am loving how all of the clothes i keep trying to hang on to are just too darn big for that....so I will have to give them up.....

You all are totally inspiring me. It's my first day back on MFP, and already I can't wait to experience these things!

Ooh! The clothing mishaps made me think of another one. I was wearing an old pair of jeans to clean the house in, and as I was walking down the hallway, they suddenly just dropped to my ankles. Whoops . . . good thing that one wasn't in public! Needless to say, those jeans got chucked into the donation pile shortly thereafter.

Wow, I'm jealous - what a great sister! My brother's useless - even at Christmas/birthdays he gets me rubbish presents. One year he got me car mats :-(

My dad bought me a trunk mat once but I liked it! I spent so much money on that car, better keep it nice!
